Smallpdf is a cloud PDF service with free and paid plans.
ExactPDF core browser tools have no daily task counter and do not add an
ExactPDF branding watermark.
ExactPDF Max, background jobs, and API credits are optional paid services;
they should not be confused with the free local tools.
A plan limit says nothing about output quality. Test the exact workflow and
representative file before choosing.

Current source
Checked June 30, 2026: Smallpdf pricing. The current page describes limited document downloads on the free plan. Because plan limits and prices can change, this article does not convert that wording into an unsupported fixed daily-task number.
